Questions

• 1. Nuclear Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy.
• 2. The most common fusion reaction discussed for fusion energy is hydrogen nuclei to form helium nuclei.
• 3. So far, producers who could provide fusion plants are promising a safe and clean environment follow-up which is expected, but since the research hasn't gotten very far past places like Congress to get a plant up and going, there is not much else to be said.

- The hydrogen or tritium nucleus has two neutrons and a proton, with the other hydrogen nucleus or deuterium

having a proton and neutron.

- Helium nucleus is formed with the two protons and three neutrons from hydrogen, with one leftover neutron and energy releasing.
